Black Kali Ma

The blues-fueled hard rock combo Black Kali Ma (named after the Hindu goddess of destruction) is led by bear-like veteran singer Gary Floyd, who previously fronted Austin, TX, political punk rockers the Dicks and the San Francisco hard blues outfit Sister Double Happiness. Floyd joined up with a group of San Francisco Bay Area musicians to form Black Kali Ma and the group's debut was released on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles Records in 2000. ~ Erik Hage
